  Whether it’s your first or millionth international shipment, you expect barriers. We clear the way.  
 
If your international logistics involve complexities that you’d rather have a trade expert handle, Pacer can help. We specialize in providing complete international containerized shipping solutions that are flexible and scaleable, with all the benefits, bells and whistles usually available to only the largest shippers. Think of us as your guide to local market access around the world.

We provide specialized freight forwarding and customs brokerage services, through our Pacer/RFI unit, supporting not only ocean shipments but also air freight. Our forwarding experts find the right match to move your products on time and cost effectively – and large freight volume enables Pacer to offer solutions not available to either individual shippers or integrated carriers. In handling your import clearances, Pacer ensures that shipments pass through the U.S. Customs processes, streamlining cargo handling ranging from proper classification and payment of goods to letters of credit insurance. And we’re a C-TPAT certified partner.

Pacer is also one of the largest non-vessel operating common carriers (NVOCC) in North America, sailing under the Pacer/Ocean World Lines brand. Our long-standing contracts with the leading trans-Pacific and trans-Atlantic steamship lines enable us to consistently secure sailings that exactly meet customer shipment needs.
 
     
 
With Pacer, you get global reach, local knowledge, and efficient infrastructure.
 
 
Let our network open doors in your new markets—Pacer has worldwide offices and vast local market knowledge. But we’re not a big bureaucratic company—we’re a big company made up of small teams of experts that work together. This enables us to give you faster response on rates, routings, modes and bookings—coupled with capacity on major global trade lanes that is better and often less costly than open market alternatives.
 
     
  We work hard to earn your trust.  
 
No two international customers’ needs are alike—and your needs are likely to differ from shipment to shipment. It may not be possible to eliminate all the variability in your supply chain, but with our trade expert resources attending to your business, you’ll gain control and reduce risk. We’ll streamline your planning and execution to minimize total cost—and give you continuous 24/7 visibility. This is genuine service value—distinguished by expertise and dedicated to creating an extraordinary customer experience.
 
     
  CAPABILITIES
